among major features added to software-based 3CX Phone System
for Windows in record time
“We
are very excited to launch this new version of 3CX Phone System for Windows. 3CX’
development team has proved that we can turn around new versions
and new features in record time. What would take years on traditional
PBXs takes only months on a software-based PBX like ours; simply
because the structure is much more manageable” said Nick Galea,
CEO at 3CX.
“With
our new Windows 2008 support, organizations can virtualize the
PBX and run a phone system without the need for an appliance or
an extra server. This means lower administration costs, no extra
hardware and less energy consumption.”
